I am basically a very happy Swami until I have to wake up in the morning and face the rest of humanity. Sometimes it is soooo unbearable that I have to go back to sleepytime. I also spend a lot of time in meditation and have recently perfected my own unique technique which includes simultaneous masturbation. Nothing like killing (God forbid) two birds with one stone!

Bananas, banana nutbread, banana splits, bumperstickers, modern plumbing, the om symbol, pretty women who dig spiritual masters like myself, women who breastfeed in public, and lesbian nuns.

Violence, racism, acts of stupidity, pundits, liars, pessimism, know-it-alls, smelly armpits, excessive pubic hair, and forehead tattoos (unless they are a realistic & exquisite rendition of a third eye.)

Spreading peace, love and good will to our beautiful planet. Making strangers laugh and making friends cry from laughter. Fantasizing about my lovely assistant, Pythonia. (She is sooooooo beautiful and intelligent and possesses a very fine spicerack). I am also a passionate treehugger and bushkisser. I also love to hike in nature and stare at boulders for hours on end. I also love to cruise the streets of L.A. in my vintage 1974 Plymouth Anacondamobile. Sometimes I enjoy watching people walk their doggies and pick up the poopie. There is definitely something to be said in regards to humbleness.

My favorite all-time movie is GANDHI!!! I have watched it more than 2,000 times and still derive such intense pleasure and hard nipples from each subsequent viewing.

Anything by Ravi Shankar!!! I also love the name NIRVANA but have never heard his/her(?) music. Perhaps someday...

I absolutely love to read the great works of the wonderful Swamis and spiritual teachers before me. They include Swami Onandonandonandonda, Swami Whatsittoyou and Baba Hariasscrack. But above all my favorite books are the ones that I write: WHEN SNAKES SLIP ON BANANA PEELS, A BOOK CALLED UM... and what I refer to as the ultimate book of Truth, EVERYTHING IS TOTAL BULLSH!T (EXCEPT FOR COW DUNG). All three books are now available in one title called, WORD!--THE BARE NAKED TEACHINGS OF SWAMI ANACONDA BANANARAMA. @ Skylight Books in L.A., as well as Amazon Books on the Interweb, and www.worldaudience.org
